[UNCLASSIFIED] parrot food
Interesting.
If given the preference most parrots will
eat sunflower seed to the exclusion of all other seeds, this can be quite bad
for them, they get fat and suffer various dietary deficiencies. It is thought
that birds may also actually get addicted to sunflower seed. Sunflower is high
in fats.

Everyday sights
could not get my usual sunflower seed at supermarket
recently so bought the mixed milletty stuff and used it for a while. One
arvo my `friend' Rosella sat asking on the feeder tree, yet the seed
bowl was full. After minutes of deep and meaningful glances from her
conveying a preference i gave in and went out to put some (of the
recently acquired) sunflower seeds on a table nearby; she immediately came down
and gobbled away.
Perhaps she has one of those mickey mouse degrees in
